SINGLE WALL PIPE-MINIMUM CLEARANCES FOR USA/CANADA
Some example of clearance reduction;
- Using heat shields on back and sidewalls allowing at least 1" of space away from the
walls for ventilation. The inch spacing is necessary to ensure air circulation between the
protection and the wall so that the wall is not subject to high temperatures. The spacer
used must be non-combustible. Another method to achieve the same type of protection is
using brick or masonry with 1" air space between the brick or masonry and the wall.
When reducing distances, please check local codes and consult with professional installer
- Using special interior double wall stove pipe can reduce distance to as little as 6"
*
- Protecting wall or ceiling adjacent to the
pipe.*
- Installing an approve 'pipe heat shield' onto the stovepipe ( reduces 18" to 9" ).
* * Pipe
possible distance, Not the stove. For stove, always use given distance.
- WARNING: Do not place stove to close to the shield. There should be enough space
between for proper air ventilation.
